Very useful

As a complete novice at animation, I found that most helpful. Thanks

StillBeatingPictures responds:

awesome! i actually helped someone!
well, thank you, and best of luck with your future work!

Nice!

It's very informative and it is really easy to watch.
i think i can do it a little bit better now

StillBeatingPictures responds:

awesome, im glad you learnt something!
good luck with your animations!

Not too shabby.

It was very informational. I learned a lot, but it wasn't any new to me. Great job for your first tutorial. Keep it up.

StillBeatingPictures responds:

thanks.
yeah, you cant teach everyone everything. im glad you liked it.

Nice.

Great layout, navigation and presentation. Was pretty easy to follow.

Just a few suggestions on your walk cycles.
See if you can sorta make them a little more fluent/smooth. I pretty much use the same technique, yet those cycles seemed to always snap around in the loop, if ya get me :/
I think it's because you didn't use that many keyframes for the cycle. Usually you require a lot more frames since walking is a slow movement. Yours sorta seemed like a power walk.
Also, with the arms, I find that they naturally tend to swing with the opposite leg.

But yeah anyway, it was pretty good for a basic walk cycle and seemed like a great tutorial for beginner animators. You have the technique down pat, just need a little better execution. Practice makes perfect :P
Keep it up man.

StillBeatingPictures responds:

yeah, it could probably work better with more frames in the cycle, but then again if you throw a 30 frame cycle at someone, it can be intimidating =D

thanks for your review!

pretty neat

what's the catchy menu music?
